The administration of Biden is hypocritical because they apparently reject the leadership of the Center for Disease Control for reopening schools, former strategic communications director Trump White House Alyssa Farah said Friday.
“She’s the CDC director, no matter where she speaks or what time. But I would just say imagine for a moment whether the Trump White House would dare to question anything that came out of the doctors or scientists,” he said. Farah said. Subnumber. ‘
“We are often accused of being anti-scientific because we even weigh other policy options and take other things into account in the Covid response, such as the economy,” Farah said.
PSAKI SAY COMMANDED WANTS TO OPEN SCHOOLS, BUT NOT INSIDE TO STAND UNTIL THE UNION BUSHING
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday reiterated that President Biden wants to see children in the classrooms, but will not commit to standing up against unions if forced to choose between productive democratic donors and the reopening. of schools.
Psaki also said that the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, did not talk about the official CDC leadership, but rather about new data, as she has repeatedly said in recent days that teachers do not need to be vaccinated to reopen schools in person.
“Dr. Walensky spoke about this in her personal capacity. It is clear that she is the head of the CDC. But we are going to wait until the final guidance comes out so that we can use it as a guideline for schools across the country,” Psaki said. “[Biden] believes that even with vaccinations for teachers or for any American, there are a number of other mitigation steps that are important to take … wearing masks, social distance, ventilation, these are all factors that are important for .. the reopening of schools. ‘
Walensky said on Wednesday in the same information room in the White House that Psaki spoke about that vaccines do not appear to be necessary for schools to open in person.
“I want to be very clear about schools, that is: Yes, ACIP has placed teachers in category 1b, the category of essential workers,” the CDC director said. “But I also want to be clear that there is increasing data indicating that schools can reopen safely and that safe reopening does not indicate that teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely.”
While applying the criteria of the Advisory Committee and the state and local guidelines for vaccination in these appropriate communities, I would also say that safe reopening of schools is not – that vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for safe reopening not. of schools. Walensky added.
Psaki also did not answer the question of whether unions will refuse to open schools for personal learning if negotiations continue, or whether Biden’s government will agree.

Farah argued that it was ‘hypocritical’ that the Biden government did not reopen schools, as approved by the CDC director.
“So it’s an incredible amount of hypocrisy that they now have the medical experts, and that they have the scientists who prove that it’s safe to get children back in the classroom, but they politicize it and keep it simply because of the pressure that the Democrats are receiving from teachers’ unions, ”Farah said.
“It’s tragic. It’s sad. We’re going to see the consequences if we do not have children in schools for decades, and it will be a failure of this government that may have made that happen.”
